What deadline?Kanye Westseems to be quite the perfectionist, as he is thanking fans for their understanding as he tweaks a few tracks on his album — the one that was supposed to be available at midnight.
Early Friday morning, West tweeted an explanation for ghosting those of his followers who were eagerly waiting up to downloadJesus Is King.
West, 42, went on to assure that his team is hard at work finalizing the record: “We not going to sleep until this album is out!”
By now, Yeezy fans are probably accustomed to the rapper’s tardiness when it comes to dropping new releases.

“I have now given my life to Jesus Christ and I work for God,” West said onKimmel, before announcing that he’d return Friday night to perform songs offJesus Is Kingon the show.
In September 2018, West shifted the release date of another project, his oft-promisedYandhialbum, first delaying it then allowing it to disappear. At the time, the rappertold TMZhe “didn’t finish it,” while also teasing its contents.
“It’s just a full Ye album,” he told TMZ about the never-released album. “Those five albums that I dropped earlier were like superhero rehabilitation. Now the alien Ye is fully back in mode, off of medication, working out, breaking as much fresh air as possible, thinking, doing, being himself.”

“Closed on Sunday / You my Chick-fil-A / Hold the selfies / Put the ‘gram away / Get your family / Now hold hands and pray,” West raps in the song.
A sourcetold PEOPLEthat the rapper’s wife,Kim Kardashian West, 39, is his biggest fan, and that the new album is more “mature” than his past releases.
“This one is so much more mature and spiritual,” the source explained. “Like music that their kids can actually listen to. It doesn’t have any foul language. She loves how Kanye is evolving.”
